My intention was to have a thread for production based racing from GT4 and below. GT3 is big enough to have it's own thread. BTCC & WTCC can stay in their thread since it already exists.

What else can they use, a Bentayga would be kind of rediculious.

As someone not from Australia, I do have to say the choice of 'Infant's Friend' and 'Lubrimaxx' on the same car is... interesting... if not slightly alarming...
(yes, I've used the magic Google machine to see what they are, but still...)
Sweet color scheme, though. 👍

No games to be played come Feb 5.You got one right and it's probably the one you were least expecting.
Todd Kelly will share the #24 with Jann Mardenborough and Florian Strauss. While Michael Caruso, Katsumasa Chiyo and Alex Buncombe will steer the #23.

OK, Jann in a Supercar for October.
I'm pushing it, ain't I?

As much as I hate the little bastard, Rick on the bench instead of Todd is a surprise. Means I can watch both cars equally.

Doubt it, assuming Jann is still competing in Super GT this year - Bathurst clashes Super GT's round in Buriram, Thailand.
Just a little.I'm pushing it, ain't I?
Anyway, pretty exciting line-up for the Nissan team. Todd Kelly might not be the fastest driver out there but he is solid and certainly not as slow as he's often made out to be, last year he was able to show good speed throughout the year. That and he wont have the pressure of running the team at the same time, so he could go into the race feeling far more relaxed. The only thing I'm iffy on is that he wont experience the car until the first practice session. I am surprised that Nissan didn't plop Matt Simmons in this car though.

If it was the plan to put Todd in, should have raced the 101 with Matt and Caruso. At least he would have steered it. I also don't know the story why they didn't run at the Bathurst "test" last year.
Todd should be fine. The car is fast and comfortable. Probably just has to relearn his brake markers.

@GTracer38 all I can see in Wall Racing FB page are the build for the cars. They just started one up.
